Social media influencer and boxer Jake Paul returns to the ring Saturday as a large favourite towards Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
In his first battle since profitable by unanimous resolution over Mike Tyson in November, Paul is -800 for his matchup towards the previous WBC middleweight titleholder. Chavez had three title defenses between 2011 and 2012 and final fought slightly below a yr in the past, taking a unanimous resolution over former UFC fighter Uriah Corridor, a bout coincidentally on the Paul-Mike Perry undercard.
This bout has all of the feels of a Jake Paul domination, however the money-line worth is simply too steep to play (except you needed to throw it in as an anchor of a parlay).
As an alternative, I am taking a look at worth performs. For starters, Paul, 28, is +130 to win by KO/TKO/DQ. With fight-ending energy, going through an opponent 11 years his elder who has amassed rather more harm over time, Paul profitable by knockout would not shock me.
An alternative choice to contemplate is a knockdown prop. Even when Paul have been to win by resolution, I might see him catching Chavez early on and dropping him to the canvas, a wager that’s paying even cash at ESPN BET. In the event you needed to take it a step additional and decide a number of knockdowns — one thing I positively can see occurring on this battle — that over wager sits at +150.
Additionally, price consideration is taking part in Paul to win by resolution. In the event you assume Chavez is sturdy sufficient to final, you may get this wager at even cash. Simply be ready to have some bumpy moments all through the battle.
The ten-round most important occasion is scheduled for 11 p.m. ET from the Honda Middle in Anaheim, California (streaming on DAZN pay-per-view).
